Excerpt: ...to yourself, obey the voice of instinct, and so win to happiness." She looked up at him, seeking to scan the handsome face in that dim light that baffled her, and he observed the tumultuous heave of her white breast. "Can I trust thee, Robin? Can I trust thee? Answer me true!" she implored him, adorably weak, entirely woman now. "What does your own heart answer you?" quoth he, loaning close above her. "I think I can, Robin. And, anyway, I must.

It was Alvarez de Quadra, Bishop of Aquila, the argus-eyed ambassador of Spain. The young face of the Queen hardened. "I would I were as well served abroad as the King of Spain is here," she said aloud, that the retreating ambassador might hear the dubious compliment; and for my lord's ear alone she added under her breath: "The spy! Philip of Spain will hear of this." "So that he hears something more, what shall it signify?" quoth my lord, and laughed.
